Orion, Mighty Hunter,
Shines in Southern Skies
By FAY VAN SCHOIACK
Would you like to see a migh
ty hunter famous in Greek my
thology? Then look to the south
ern part of the sky where Orion,
the most glorious star group in
all the heavens, is now visible
high in the south during the
evening hours.
To - locate this constellation,
find a short slanted line of three
stars equal in brightness and
about the same distance apart
This is the belt of the hunter.
From this belt hang three fainter
stars that represent a sword.
Orion faces us and two bright
stars -above the belt mark the
shoulders. Betelgeuse, a red star,
forms the right shoulder and
Bellatrix the left. Below the
belt, Rigel marks the left knee
and Saif, : the right. These four
stars maks an imperfect rectan
gle. The whole figure is shaped
something like an hourglass.
The small . triangle of faint
stars above Betelgeuse and Bella
trix is his head, and above Betel
geuse is a group of stars to mark
his upraised right arm and club.
"Why were the stars placed in
the heavens?" the ancient people
wondered. To answer this ques
tion - they composed - stories or
myths which were handed down
from generation to generation.
One concerning Orion's place
ment in the celestial sphere is,
very briefly, as follows.
"Diana, if you are so skillful
with .the bow and arrow, I dare
you to hit that dark object out
there on the water," said Apollo,
the sun god, to his sister as they
walked along the beach Diana,
goddess of the hunt, fitted an
arrow to her bow and caused the
object to disappear. .
Apollo had become angry and
jealous because Diana had al

lowed Orion, the mighty hunter,
to follow in her train as she pur
sued the deer.
"It is not proper for a goddess
to be so friendly with a mortal,"
he said. But Diana continued her
association with Orion, and Apol
lo, recognizing (as Diana did not)
the dark speck on the water to
be the head of Orion as he walk
ed on the bottom of the sea, took
this opportunity to end their
friendship.
Later that evening, as Diana
walked along the seashore, the
body of Orion was washed up by
the waves. Deeply grieved, as
she saw her arrow protruding
from his head, she prayed to
Jupiter to set him in the heav
ens. And there he has remained
to this day, the brightest of all
the constellations.
